Abstract
The threat of bacterial infections, especially drug-resistant strains, to human health necessitates the development of high-efficient, broad-spectrum and nonantibiotic nanodisinfectant. However, the effect of interfacial charge on the antibacterial properties of nanodisinfectant remains a mystery, which greatly limits the development of highly antibacterial active nanodisinfectant. Herein, we developed three types of ultrasmall (d < 3 nm) gold-nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with 5-carboxylic(C)/methoxy(M)amino(A)/-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (C/M/A MB) to investigate their interfacial charge on antibacterial performance. Our results showed that both the electropositive AMB-AuNPs and electronegative CMB-AuNPs exhibited no antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (G+) and Gram-negative (G-) bacteria. However, the electroneutral MMB-AuNPs exhibited unique antibacterial performance against both G+ and G- bacteria, even against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Mechanistic investigation revealed a multipathway synergistic bacteriostatic mechanism involving MMB-AuNPs inducing damage to bacterial cell membranes, disruption of membrane potential and downregulation of ATP levels, ultimately leading to bacterial demise. Furthermore, two additional electroneutral AuNPs modified with 5-methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (mMB-AuNPs) and 5-ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (EMB-AuNPs) also demonstrated commendable antibacterial efficacy against E. coli, S. aureus, and MRSA; however, their performance was comparatively inferior to that of MMB-AuNPs. This work provides valuable insights for the development of high-performance antibacterial nanomaterials.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that causes life-threatening and persistent infections in immunocompromised patients. It is the culprit behind a variety of hospital-acquired infections owing to its multiple tolerance mechanisms against antibiotics and disinfectants. Biofilms are sessile microbial aggregates that are formed as a result of the cooperation and competition between microbial cells encased in a self-produced matrix comprised of extracellular polymeric constituents that trigger surface adhesion and microbial aggregation. Bacteria in biofilms exhibit unique features that are quite different from planktonic bacteria, such as high resistance to antibacterial agents and host immunity. Biofilms of P. aeruginosa are difficult to eradicate due to intrinsic, acquired, and adaptive resistance mechanisms. Consequently, innovative approaches to combat biofilms are the focus of the current research. Nanocomposites, composed of two or more different types of nanoparticles, have diverse therapeutic applications owing to their unique physicochemical properties. They are emerging multifunctional nanoformulations that combine the desired features of the different elements to obtain the highest functionality. This review assesses the recent advances of nanocomposites, including metal-, metal oxide-, polymer-, carbon-, hydrogel/cryogel-, and metal organic framework-based nanocomposites for the eradication of P. aeruginosa biofilms. The characteristics and virulence mechanisms of P. aeruginosa biofilms, as well as their devastating impact and economic burden are discussed. Future research addressing the potential use of nanocomposites as innovative anti-biofilm agents is emphasized. Utilization of nanocomposites safely and effectively should be further strengthened to confirm the safety aspects of their application.

Environmentally friendly silver nanoparticles synthesized from Verbascum nudatum var. extract and evaluation of its versatile biological properties and dye degradation activity. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:33482-33494. [PMID: 38683425 PMCID: PMC11136752 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33424-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In the present study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (VNE-AgNPs) via Verbascum nudatum extract was carried out for the first time. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by different spectral methods such as UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, TEM, and EDAX. According to TEM analyses, the average size range of AgNPs was 17-21 nm, and the dominant peaks in the 111°, 200°, 221°, and 311° planes in the XRD pattern indicated the Ag-NPs FCC crystal structure. FTIR data showed that VNE-AgNPs interacted with many reducing, capping, and stabilizing phytochemicals during green synthesis. VNE-AgNPs had higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli bacterial strains with a maximum inhibition zone of 21 and 18 mm, respectively, than penicillin 5 IU, used as a positive control in the study. The cytotoxic effect of VNE-AgNPs appeared at a concentration of 50 µg/mL in L929 cells and 5 µg/mL in cancer (A549) cells. When the impact of VNE-AgNPs and C-AgNPs on inflammation was compared, it was found that VNE-AgNPs increased TNF-α levels (333.45 ± 67.20 ng/mg-protein) statistically (p < 0.05) more than TNF-α levels (256.92 ± 27.88 ng/mg-protein) in cells treated with C-AgNPs. VNE-Ag-NPs were found to have a degradation efficiency of 65% against methylene blue (MB) dye within 3 h.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:17636-17645. [PMID: 38645349 PMCID: PMC11025086 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c01257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Sutures are a crucial component of surgical procedures, serving to close and stabilize wound margins to promote healing. However, microbial contamination of sutures can increase the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) due to colonization by pathogens. This study aimed to tackle SSI by synthesizing positively charged silver nanoparticles (P-AgNPs) and using them to produce antimicrobial sutures. The P-AgNPs were reduced and stabilized using polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic branched polymer. The physiochemical characteristics of P-AgNPs were confirmed from the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 419 nm, spherical morphology with a particle size range of 8-10 nm, PEI functional groups on NPs, a hydrodynamic diameter of 12.3 ± 2.4 nm, and a zeta potential of 31.3 ± 6 mV. Subsequently, the surfaces of silk sutures were impregnated with P-AgNPs at different time intervals (24, 48, and 96 h) using an ex situ method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile strength studies were conducted to determine the coating and durability of the NP-coated sutures. The NPs were quantified on sutures using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometry (ICP-OES), which was in the range of 1-5 μg. Primarily, antimicrobial activity was studied using three microorganisms (Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans, and Staphylococcus aureus) for both P-AgNPs and suture-coated P-AgNPs using the agar diffusion method. The results showed that only the NPs and NP-coated sutures exhibited enhanced antimicrobial effects against bacteria and fungi. Finally, the cytotoxicity of the sutures was investigated using stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) for 24 h, which exhibited more than 75% cell viability. Overall, the results indicate that NP-coated sutures can potentially be used as antimicrobial sutures to diminish or inhibit SSI in postoperative or general surgery patients.

Abstract
The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is usually based on expensive methods that use or generate chemicals that can negatively impact the environment. Our study presents a simple one-step synthesis process for obtaining AgNP using an aqueous extract of Amazonian fruit açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) as the reducing and stabilizing agents. The bio-synthesized AgNP (bio-AgNP) were comprehensively characterized by diverse techniques, and as a result, 20-nm spherical particles (transmission electron microscopy) were obtained. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) confirmed the presence of crystalline AgNP, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) suggested that polyphenolic compounds of açaí were present on the surface. The bio-AgNP showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. In Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to 10 μg/L bio-AgNP for 96 h, there were no significant effects on growth, reproduction, or reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration; however, there was an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymatic activity. In contrast, when worms were exposed to chemically synthesized AgNP (PVP-AgNP), an increase in ROS, SOD, and GST activity and a reduction in oxidative stress resistance were observed. In conclusion, our study not only showcased the potential of açaí in the simple and rapid production of AgNP but also highlighted the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles using our protocol. Moreover, our findings revealed that these AgNPs exhibited reduced toxicity to C. elegans at environmentally realistic concentrations compared with PVP-AgNP.
